St Gerrans Baptisms 1538-1798

This is my transcription of the baptisms from the St Gerrans Parish Records.
It has been made by using LDS film 0236537 (courtesy of the
Church of Latter Day Saints) to check and update my earlier transcription of the 1930-31
transcription by W. Martin Furze of Falmouth (from LDS film 0916889). Hopefully
this means that it is now pretty accurate as it means that I've done 3 passes of
the records!

There was the occasional record that I just couldn't decipher and in that
case I used the Furze transcription as the source and added a transcriber note
to that effect.

Watch out for names having a variety of spellings and some of them may not be obvious! For example, those researching the Sawle family will not be surprised to see
the name as Sawel, Sowell, Saul, Sawell, Saule, Sawl, Soull, Sowel, Sowle and Saule. I also assume that Sandry and Zandry could
be the same family and perhaps Putland and Butland are too, but how about Woolcock and Ulcock?

One further 'health warning' is on dates. Prior to 1752 the calendar year ran from 25th March through to 24th March so, for example, January 1750 is the month AFTER December 1750.
In 1751 the days of September 2nd to 14th were cancelled and from that year onwards 31st December became the end of the calendar year.
Hence from January 1752 the calendar year runs as we know it today. Note that in
this transcription the dates are as recorded i.e. as they were at the time.

There are some 5,000 baptisms in this period so I have split them alphabetically
by surname to improve download/display times.
